The coati, or coatimundi, is a member of the raccoon family that lives in South and Central America and a few areas of southwestern North America. I photographed this one, along with thirty or so of his friends, deep in the rain forest of Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. Corcovado is an amazing park for wildlife, located down near the Panama border on the Pacific coast. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/3.5 at 1/500th of a second
Kind of a cute little thing, though I wouldn’t want to meet up with its claws in a dark alley! Looks like a happy little critter, Sean, ready to smile for the camera!
